I just LOVE this post (check out the image!) – it reminds us what is important, and that most people actually admire and respect us for praying!

Here’s another example that was shared on facebook:

“Today, I almost missed my prayer. Not knowing what to do or where to go, I found a small space outside King’s Cross Station to pray. As soon as I finished, someone from security (or police, I couldn’t quite tell) approached me immediately. Amidst everything that I’ve seen in the media, my heart sunk. I thought to myself: “Well, here goes.”

The officer approached me pretty quickly. To my surprise, he said:

“Why don’t you come and pray inside? There’s a staff prayer room.”

I was taken aback. Really. I fit every stereotype imaginable. Yet, here I was stereotyping others. The officer was a white man.

It’s so important to remember that on every end of the spectrum, there are pretty crazy people. But for the most part, people are incredibly respectful.”
